What Turbo game are you currently playing?
« Reply #3780 on: June 10, 2016, 12:24:03 PM »
A friend and i sat down and beat Last Alert last night in one sitting. Had a great time. Infanite continues and the fact that you dont loose your rank when uou die means you will eventually beat it given enough attempts. Now we go to pick something else to beat. I suggest everybody play the game.

Lots of nice little touches in this game (no spoilers) elevate it slightly above "average"....

Even though it is an average game, it seems a bit more special. And fun.

:)



I had a lot of fun with Cyber Core last night. A tad on the easy side as shooters of this era go. The Engrish was lol.

I don't know why, but I have always had a lot of fun playing this game (even though it SCREAMS "average" and "generic").

For example, I love the soundtrack, despite the fact that the songs repeat after a very short loop.

Anyway, it's totally more fun and enjoyable than most folks give it credit for.

:)

Playing Ys Book I&II.
Pissed off because I lost my saved games.
Pissed off because I am getting my ass handed to me by the mantis boss on floor 8 of the tower.
But, other than being pissed off, I am having a blast!

Yeah it's by no means a great game. But it's also really cheap (I more or less just tacked it on to an order because it was $9), so not a bad starter shooter. I tend to have enough fun with most shooters to at least clear them though.

I will call it a "great" little game :)

I think that I'm a sucker for the Xevious formula, so I am biased (Xevious is not a particularly amazing game...but it's fundamental mechanics are sweet).

For example, I love Dragon Spirit, so...I have an addiction to satiate.

I did enjoy Dragon Spirit too. Xevious though, that was a bit of a stinker for me.

At least Ys 1 is pretty short, so you can get back to where you need to be.

Go grind Adol until the monsters are only giving 1-2 points. This is a Ys tactic I always employ. The bosses are much easier, sometimes with just 1 level gained.

Enjoy! I love all the Ys series.

Before starting over, look for passwords that will get you back close-enough to where you were.

Yeah, just about done with the tower now.  I wanted to complete I&II because I did the English text and audio patch for IV and am anxious to play it. 

Didn't use the codes because, frankly, I need the practice!  Plan to knock it out this weekend and start on IV hopefully.  I just love the action rpgs on the TurboGrafx!

Air Zonk is a game I'd like to get (looks really fun), but right now the price has trended in a bad way on Ebay. Probably going to end up getting a loose Japanese hu.

Actually, JP version has the original (some may argue better) character design and sprites.

Many times I find the Japan port of a game even if released in NA is superior to the NA baring any language issues.


Final fight one the SNES?  I prefer Super Famicom no censorship. Same with Castelvania and even some PCE games.

They are also majority of the time affordable and a better deal over all.
